New Student Project Funding Application - Halifax

The DMSS helps Dalhousie’s medical students with worthwhile projects by providing monetary assistance. Any student can apply for project funding by filling out an electronic application. There are two rounds of applications, one in the Fall and the other in the Winter semester. Deadlines for applying vary from year-to-year. While all projects are considered for funding by the Finance Committee, the DMSS looks for projects that have tangible goals. A project can involve a local, grassroots effort to combat homelessness or can be part of an international global health initiative; you can check out some of our present and past initiatives in the Student Life section of this web site.

In order to apply for official New Interest Group (IG) status, the Executives of the New IG must submit a completed Dalhousie Medical Students’ Society (DMSS) IG application form to the Student Interest Group Committee (SIGC) by September 23 or February 21 for the fall and winter funding cycles, respectively.
